The Engaged University

Thriving staff, thriving students.
Universities are among the least engaged workplaces in the world. They are failing to maximize the potential of their biggest asset -- their faculty and staff.

Without university employees who go above and beyond, Gallup finds that students are less likely to be engaged in education and prepared for life.

As higher education systems face numerous challenges, including soaring costs, public demands for greater accountability and growing skepticism of the value of a college degree -- they must move past campus climate surveys to create a culture of positive human development.

Gallup gives university leaders the vital data they need to create actionable plans for improvement, so they can offer their employees -- and their students -- a thriving, engaging campus culture.

Only34%of university faculty and staff are engaged in their jobs.

Graduates are1.4times more likely to be thriving in five key elements of well-being if a professor cared about them as a person.

A lower rate than most other industries, 4 in 10 professors say that someone's talked to them about their progress in the last six months.

Develop engaged employees who put students first -- making your campus the best place to learn.

A new era of university expectations, a new way to measure what matters most.

Higher education institutions need more than just a measurement of engagement; they need to know how to improve. Gallup helps universities move employee engagement from a "check-the-box" activity to a living resource that helps them reach their institutional goals.
